Chapter 155 [Making love...doing what love does]
"Wan'er, do you think I can join the Massacre Army as I wish?" Ye Ling'er was a little nervous and excited.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has borrowed rain from heaven this time, and has won the final victory in one battle. He has also made new achievements, and he will surely be rewarded when he returns to the capital.
I am really curious, what will His Majesty reward me this time?"
Ye Linger felt that with Li Chengqian's current identity, power, and status, there was no more reward he could receive.
However, the war between the North and the South was originally at a stalemate, but Li Chengqian was able to decide the outcome of the battle in one battle and made great contributions, so he had to be rewarded.
Lin Wan'er also shook her head, indicating that she couldn't think of what reward His Majesty could give this time.
"The Crown Prince is going to get married when he returns to the capital. He has many things to do and probably won't have the time to deal with you. If you want to join the Human-Slaughtering Army, you'll have to find another way.
The best way is to meet him in private and then ask to join the Slaughter Army.
After all, you are the eldest daughter of the Ye family, the descendant of a great master. Without his nod, you cannot join the Ren Tu Army."
Lin Wan'er analyzed carefully.
"That makes sense, but how can I meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in private?" Ye Ling'er was a little distressed about this.
She wanted to join the Slaughter Army so badly that she seemed to be going crazy.
I have been practicing hard during this period, hoping to have more confidence and opportunities when the time comes.
"That's easy. I'll invite the Crown Prince to come to the royal villa for a visit. Then you'll have a chance, right?" Lin Wan'er said with a smile.
"Great!" Ye Ling'er couldn't help but applaud in agreement.
"But, Xiao Zuo? What to do? Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come?"
"Of course it's making love...the things that you do during love." Lin Wan'er didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly she became dull.
"Wan'er, are you worried about something?" Ye Ling'er suddenly stared at her and asked.
"No." Lin Wan'er was stunned for a moment and then shook her head.
Hearing this, Ye Ling'er didn't think much about it.
"Wan'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to make a big mess, do you really have no ideas?"
The two of them were standing at the edge of the attic, and Ye Ling'er suddenly mentioned this matter.
"No."
Ye Linger smiled softly after hearing this and said:
“As women, we often have to fight for our own happiness.
Sometimes, if you miss the best opportunity, your life may be over."
Lin Wan'er looked at her in surprise, and looking at her best friend's sweaty appearance, she suddenly felt that she was really different from ordinary women.
"You want to join the Human Slaughter Army, is this actually the reason?"
Ye Linger nodded, "Joining the Human Slaughter Army is the best choice I know of to change my destiny and control my future."
"I hope you can succeed." Lin Wan'er was silent.
"If you... forget it, you are much smarter than me, you naturally know what I want to say."
Ye Ling'er stopped talking halfway and just looked at Lin Wan'er meaningfully.
Royal study room.
Chen Pingping, Lin Ruofu, and Fan Jian were all summoned to the palace.
These three people are truly high-ranking figures in Qing Kingdom.
Unless there is something really important, the three of them will generally not be gathered together at the same time.
Moreover, this did not happen in the court, but people were called to the imperial study in private, which shows that the matter must be complicated.
Emperor Qing looked at the arrowhead in his hand that had been sharpened to a very sharp edge, squinted his eyes slightly, and then reached out to touch the sharp edge.
"Tell me, the Crown Prince has made new achievements this time. He asked the sky for rain and won the battle. He won the war between the North and the South. What should I reward him with?"
Hearing this, the three old foxes said in their hearts at the same time:
"Sure enough!"
When they received the oral order and entered the palace, the three of them already had some guesses in their minds.
The people present today can almost be regarded as the most top-notch old foxes in the world of Joy of Life.
After asking the question, Emperor Qing continued to sharpen the arrows and ignored them.
After the three of them were silent for a long time, Fan Jian spoke first:
"Your Majesty, I am only a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the national treasury. As for such an important matter, it is better for Your Majesty to decide." He was just passing the buck, trying to find an excuse to fool people and refusing to answer.
Because this problem is really very tricky.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qing pointed to the imperial table over there.
"From today on, you are the Minister of Revenue. As one of the six ministers, you should share my worries.
The imperial edict has already been written and is on the table. You can take it when you leave later."
The three people who heard this looked at each other.
The position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been vacant for a long time. Although Fan Jian is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he has always held the power of the Minister.
It can be said that he held two positions at the same time, being both the Shangshu and the Shilang. One can imagine how great his power was.
The power of the entire Ministry of Revenue was in his hands alone.
Now, it is reasonable for him to be promoted from assistant minister to minister.
But, isn’t this imperial edict a bit too casual?
There’s no need to read it out, just ask them to take it away.
He is really a popular figure around His Majesty!
Now, Fan Jian was in a dilemma and could only tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, given His Royal Highness's current status and position, there is no more reward for him."
"Then no reward?" Emperor Qing asked back.
"Uh……"
It doesn’t seem to work either.
"Prime Minister Lin, what do you think?" Emperor Qing continued to sharpen his arrows without looking up at the three men.
"Your Majesty, I feel that since power and status have reached their limit, it would be better to give you some beauties and fiefdoms."
Beauty and fiefdom?
As soon as Lin Ruofu said this, the atmosphere in the imperial study stagnated for a moment.
Emperor Qing stopped sharpening his arrows.
"Good idea!" Emperor Qing suddenly smiled and praised:
"Prime Minister Lin is indeed a minister in charge of the six ministries in the court. His thinking is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."
This method is indeed good.
"Then, Prime Minister Lin, who do you think is suitable to be awarded the beauty, and where is the most suitable fiefdom?" Emperor Qing continued to ask.
At this time, the arrow in his hand had already failed to be sharpened.
He threw it into an iron frame aside and ignored it.
The old eunuch brought a golden basin, and Emperor Qing washed his hands and face, waiting for Lin Ruofu's answer.
"Your Majesty, finally the land is granted. Outside of the capital, the two states of Northern Qi that were conquered can be given to the Crown Prince as a reward. This will also appease the people and morale.
Besides, it would be better to give the Royal Villa in Kyoto to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He will certainly be very happy.
As for the beautiful lady reward, I have two candidates in mind, Ye Ling'er from the Ye family, and... my little daughter Lin Wan'er.
Of course, I am only giving advice, the decision is entirely up to your majesty."
Emperor Qing wiped his hands with fine silk and turned to look at Lin Ruofu.
At this time, Lin Ruofu bowed slightly and lowered his head, and no expression could be seen on his face.
Emperor Qing thought silently for a moment, looked at the other two, and asked:
"What do you think?"
"I second the motion." Chen Pingping and Fan Jian spoke at the same time.
These three words are often the most perfunctory answer.
It is also the most labor-saving answer.
Just second the motion.
"Okay, it's settled!" Emperor Qing said.
Lin Ruofu bowed his head slightly, but a smile suddenly flashed across his calm lips.
Fleeting!
Very well hidden.
